Another added: "Welcome to my little game. I am going to kill you all, but not before I rape every single one of you."

Dutton is a prolific offender, with 14 previous convictions, including sexual assault and arson.

At an earlier hearing, Dutton pleaded guilty to communicating false information with intent, which related to the bomb hoax; and sending communication with intent to cause distress or anxiety, which related to the rape threats.

Dutton, of Bradford Road in Cleckheaton, was found not guilty of another count of rape and not guilty of two counts of assault by penetration.

Sentencing him to nine years behind bars at Leeds Crown Court, Recorder Dafydd Enoch QC said: “You have an horrendous history of threatening the police and of telling them that there are bombs in the police station.

“It impacts on the way that they are able to help genuinely needy people.”

Dutton, who held his head in his hands through most of the hearing, had already been made the subject of a sexual harm prevention order, which was extended.
